I realize he wasn't trying to say that Hitler didn't gas his own people. His internal views are what make it possible to make the leap in logic that allows him to distinguish the two. Why would anyone say, "Not even Hitler stooped so low as to use chemical weapons on his people," [combined with the rest of his explanation] if they didn't think German Jews weren't his people?
And the answer that he was talking about dropping bombs vs. actually going out and rounding up
everyone to torture, starve, and gas them to show that not even Hitler would stoop as low as Assad makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. None.
